The Galleon Serial FPDP XMC is a flexible platform implementing a quad channel VITA 17.1-2003 sFPDP receive and transmit engine for high-performance image processing, SIGINT/COMINT, radar processing, software defined radio, sensor data capture, etc.

The sFPDP XMC has a low power Xilinx Virtex 6 LX75T FPGA, with up to four individually configurable sFPDP links, software configurable for 1.0625, 2.125, 2.5, 3.125 and 4.25Gbaud link speed.

If multiple boards are to be synchronized, an external 10MHz reference clock source can be used in combination with trigger in/out. In master mode, up to four 10MHz reference outputs are available for synchronization of external devices. There is 2GB DDR3 SDRAM on-board for ultra-deep FIFOs in applications where high elasticity is required. The PCI Express x8 host interface utilizes the Xilinx hard IP interface for high bandwidth data directly to CPU memory.

The sFPDP XMC is available in both air-cooled and conduction-cooled variants. The board may be fitted with standard front panel LC connectors or recessed rugged LC connectors for easy optical cabling in conduction cooled environments with no front panel connections. Alterna- tively, the high speed serial interfaces can be routed through the P16 rear I/O for backplane communication.

The board is delivered with drivers for Linux and Windows hosts. An optional PCI Express card edge adapter offers easy integration in standard desktop systems for non-rugged applications and SW development.

Galleon Embedded Computing’s quality management system is certified to Aerospace Standard AS/EN 9100 and ISO 9001.
